There for the grace of God go I

From the Twin Towers to San Bernardino by way of Madrid, London, Nigeria,
Bangladesh, and Paris to name just a few unhappy waypoints,
Islamic extremists are carving a bloody swath across the planet.
And by all appearances, this pattern will continue for the foreseeable future.
On the far Right, this is being met with tribalistic bravado, bigotry, and xenophobia.
On the far Left, with a moral relativism that flies in the face
of our most cherished Enlightenment ideals.
We need to find a better way forward,
and that starts with an honest look at what we’re dealing with.
